Battle of Schoenfeld

The Battle of Schoenfeld took place on 1 March 1945 during World War II and was the scene of the last mounted charge in the history of the Polish cavalry. The Polish charge overran German defensive positions and forced a German retreat from the village of Schoenfeld. In March 1945, the First Army of the Polish People's Army was advancing into Pomerania as part of an overall push by, and backed by, Soviet forces to reach the Baltic Sea and the area of Stettin. Schoenfeld was part of the third line of fortifications built by the Germans to shelter Pomerania from attack.
